Book Free Consultation

Transfer pricing rules are not limited to cross-border dealings; certain transactions between resident related parties — particularly those involving units claiming a tax holiday or profit-linked deduction — are also required to be priced at arm's length.

At N D Savla & Associates, we identify specified domestic transactions, benchmark them where required, and prepare the documentation and Form 3CEB reporting applicable to such dealings.

We also advise on structuring inter-unit transactions within a single legal entity, where profits are shifted between a tax holiday unit and the rest of the business.

Frequently Asked Questions

A specified domestic transaction is a defined category of transaction between related parties within India, including certain transactions involving units eligible for a tax holiday or profit-linked deduction, that exceeds the prescribed aggregate threshold.
Specified domestic transaction provisions apply where the aggregate value of such transactions in a year exceeds the threshold prescribed under Section 92BA of the Income-tax Act.
Because profits can be shifted between a tax holiday unit and other units of the same entity through inter-unit pricing, the arm's length principle is applied to prevent understatement or overstatement of the holiday unit's eligible profits.
Yes, specified domestic transactions above the threshold are also required to be reported in Form 3CEB along with international transactions.
Domestic benchmarking generally relies on comparable Indian companies and transactions, and does not require the cross-border and currency considerations relevant to international transfer pricing.
Failure to report or maintain documentation for a specified domestic transaction can lead to penalties and can also increase the tax department's scrutiny of profit allocation between related units.
